I think good feedback on the word-sounds reinforces language developement.
My NT son said tractor and bulldozer at 10 months! He could also say milk, food and more. (he sure got his priorities righ ... |

Also, I think your son may later feel you weren't honest with him - like an kid who isn't told ... |

My son has ADHD, too.
He was given ritalin to start with, because the effects are very quick: it is easy to tell whether it's working or not. With him, there was a very marked change within 10 minute ... |

I talked to another teacher, who was really understanding and agreed that teachers shouldn't be wearing perfume!!! She'll bring it up as a general problem at the school.
